Each week, the City Manager’s Office provides an update that includes information on programs, services and issues within the City, as well as news, project updates and follow-up information when necessary.
Get up to speed on what’s going on in Coronado with this video preview of the latest edition of the Coronado City Manager’s Weekly Update, as well as a sampling of the updates below. Read the full update on the City’s website.
- Pedestrian Crossing Signs: New permanent pedestrian crossing signs have been installed on F Avenue at Third and Fourth streets. The signs are up 24 hours a day, unlike other similar signs on state routes within the City that get removed each night. The poles are flexible but will eventually wear and will be replaced. In-street pedestrian yield signs alert motorists to pedestrian travel. They have a traffic calming effect because they narrow the travel lanes, causing motorists to be more alert and attentive. In addition, they deter motorcycles from ‘lane splitting’ when traffic is backed-up; which is a high-risk behavior regarding pedestrians attempting to cross at those times. They have been installed on Pomona Avenue at Sixth Street and at First Street near the Coronado Ferry Landing, and near the beach. Removable signs have been added during crossing guard hours at various school crossings.
- City Repairing Orange Avenue Potholes: Residents may have noticed an increase in the number and speed of road repairs along Orange Avenue in recent weeks. After receiving the permission needed to perform certain repairs on portions of state roadways in Coronado, via a Delegated Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Transportation, the City got to work. Crews have been filling potholes and installing asphalt patches on Orange. Workers completed southbound Orange from Sixth Street to R.H. Dana Place, which included some pressing concrete gutter work at the R.H. Dana bus stop. Work included 15 locations and was performed on Monday and Tuesday, May 14 and 15. Streets Division began repairing northbound potholes, starting at R.H. Dana, on Wednesday and Thursday, May 16 and 17, and is expected to continue May 21-22. There are 36 locations needing work on Orange heading north. That work is more complicated with business entrances, traffic loops and public transit. The work is conducted from around 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. weekdays to consider traffic impacts. This work will help maintain the asphalt over the busy summer season. Caltrans has a larger project to make major road repairs to the structural base from the 600 block to the 1100 block of Orange. This will address the underlying roadway structural problems that are causing the potholes to occur. This work is anticipated to occur in October 2018.
